State of Origin Player Jai Arrow faces a $35,000 fine and a two-game suspension after allegedly breaching a public health order by bringing an 'unregistered guest', understood to be a dancer, back to the Gold Coast hotel where Queensland players are in isolation.

Mr Arrow has been sent home and is now in 14 days isolation.
